Kelly Clarkson postponed the opening weekend of her Las Vegas residency, "Studio Sessions," at The Colosseum inside Caesars Palace due to vocal health concerns. The Grammy-winning singer announced the cancellation on social media less than two hours before the scheduled start of her first show on July 4, 2025, also affecting the following night's performance. Clarkson stated that the preparation and rehearsals for the shows had taken a toll on her voice, and she sought to protect it from serious damage. She expressed being "devastated" by the decision to postpone the residency. The abrupt cancellations reportedly blindsided her concert crew and generated backlash from some staffers. Sources indicate the cancellations were reluctantly made and that Clarkson is considering the future of her demanding talk show, suggesting she might need a shift in her professional commitments.
